Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients with suspected OSA (obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome) are asked to use a standard bike ergometer which is additionally equipped with a system to gather training data and the ability to send daily training time to an internet server to which the physician has access. Training time of two groups is compared. Group one is not motivated while group two benefits from telephone feedback when training time declines. It is presumed that training time increases with better information and response to training behaviour.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

No Motivation

Patients are asked to complete a telemonitored Ergometer training for 4 Weeks, at least 30 minutes per day, no more intervention is done.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Motivation

Patients are asked to complete a telemonitored Ergometer training for 4 Weeks, at least 30 minutes every day. If training time declines to less than 20 minutes per day for one week, a motivation phone call will take place once a week.

Group Type OTHER

Motivation by Telephone Call

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Telephone call not exceeding 10 minutes according to a protocol
